I am a complete novice but would love to take the colonies and start my own. Any information would be appreciated on the viris warning in the larger bees.

I am considering building an apiary. I am a total novice. I live in a very warm climate, South Florida. I used to see tons of bees, but haven't seen too many in recent years. I like honey and will retire in a few years and would like to do this as a hobby. I am handy with wood work and have confidence to build a Bee Hive if given good plans to follow. I have heard a little about a Bee dying off problem in the US and that there is some controvercy about the size of Bees, something about 5/16 verses 3/8 of an inch and that being a part of the hive that relates to the size of the Bees being made? Also something about a stomach virus in the larger bees occurring because of their larger size??? If you could send me any information you may have along with any good advice, I will appreciate it and send you a jar of the first honey I gather, should you send me an address to send it to! Thanking you in advance for your time and expertise! Many Blessings, Mike Calvert Hello,
